Make FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_DONT_CARE be all bits, rather than none, so that drivers and __flow_action_hw_stats_check can use simple bitwise checks. Pre-fill all actions with DONT_CARE in flow_rule_alloc(), rather than relying on implicit semantics of zero from kzalloc, so that callers which don't configure action stats themselves (i.e. netfilter) get the correct behaviour by default. Only the kernel's internal API semantics change; the TC uAPI is unaffected. v4: move DONT_CARE setting to flow_rule_alloc() for robustness and simplicity. v3: set DONT_CARE in nft and ct offload. v2: rebased on net-next, removed RFC tags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
